Failed to load library (ros foxy installation)

[Edwin-Til-Illan]

After installing phidgets_drivers from source I tried to launch the spatial executable using:
ros2 launch phidgets_spatial spatial-launch.py
And I got:

[INFO] [launch]: All log files can be found below /home/rover/.ros/log/2021-08-04-15-35-36-796098-rover-ThinkCentre-M73-39388

I checked and there is a 'shared_library.c' at path '/home/rover/ros2_foxy/src/ros2/rcutils/src/'
Any clue what is going wrong ?

@Edwin-Til-Illan Can you give #97 a shot and see if it solves the problem for you?

Thanks for the help !
However I just did not install libphidget22 on my OS, problem solved:

For what it is worth, you should not have to install libphidget22 on your own; this repository should do it for you. That's what #97 is fixing. But glad you got it working otherwise.
